What is tarot?

The word "Tarot" is taken from Egyptian characters tar (Tao) and ro (King), meaning "King". So "Tarot" itself refers to his correct determination as a king, which is the origin of this divination method.

Tarot card is an ancient divination tool, and its origin is a mysterious legend. Many experts who study mysticism try to find some clues, and various viewpoints abound. ...

Some people say that it comes from Egypt, which means "sacred journey" and "god of wisdom and magic" in Egyptian.

Some people say it comes from ancient Rome, which means "wheel of life" in Latin.

Some people say it comes from Hebrew, which means "law" in Jewish.

It is said that it comes from Persia, which means "playing cards" in gypsy language. It is the gypsies who introduced the word "tarot" to Europe.

It is said that since ancient India, Indian gods have held some symbols of tarot cards, such as cups, power, swords and rings.

It is said that from China, card games were printed on paper money in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that cards were used to entertain court wives.

Either way, one thing is certain: Tarot is a wise man, who painted and handed down ancient wisdom as patterns.

According to legend, the original tarot cards were not used for divination in the form of cards. It's just a "fantastic book", a mysterious book dedicated to conveying the will of the gods. Whenever the ancient Pharaoh had any problems to solve, he would open this book of ignorance, and all the problems would be solved. (Note: the moon is the god of culture and education) Later, when the Egyptian dynasty perished, in order to prevent this mysterious book from falling into the hands of different nationalities, it was painted on a card in the form of a picture and handed over to the official. Later, it was introduced to Europe by Alexander. Around the middle ages, the tarot cards we are playing now were formed.

Tarot cards were very popular in the Middle Ages, and they could be found in many pictures and books at that time. Tarot cards are everywhere, whether in the palace or in the common people. It was not until the rise of the church that Tarot cards were regarded as the mysterious magic of paganism and were suppressed from then on. Under the protection of a willing heart, the tarot card survived and showed its mysterious atmosphere in front of the world.

Tarot cards consist of 22 picture cards (alker) and 56 digital cards (alker). There are 78 cards, each of which has its own unique pattern and meaning. The method of divination is to arrange the cards in a certain form (we call it "unfolding" here), and then judge by the position of the cards. We can carry out divination according to different needs such as love, health, wealth and marriage. Whatever it is, we can know it through tarot cards, especially when we don't know what to do. This is a very good indicator. In addition, only you can find the information conveyed by the card face and uncover the mystery of the ancient tarot card.
